wFOR his first full solo release in eight years, an ailing Phil Collins revisits Motown classics. The likes of Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone, (Love Is Like A) Heatwave and Jimmy Mack are all given the Collins makeover and what’s noticeable is that these are cover versions intended to re-create the original recordings – even down to the presence of three original Funk Brothers, the legendary session musicians who backed dozens of Motown number one singles during the 1960s. There may be nothing new here, but when music is this good there’s no reason to change it. JD
